Wayne Rooney has spoken of his regret over a trip to Las Vegas ahead of Euro 2012 and urged his England teammates to avoid his mistake.
England captain Wayne Rooney has urged his international teammates to learn from his mistake of going on a family vacation to Las Vegas ahead of Euro 2012.
Rooney traveled to the United States before the event in Ukraine and Poland, where the Manchester United striker was banned for the first two games of the tournament.
The 29-year-old — whose goal in the 6-0 victory over San Marino in a Euro 2016 qualifier Saturday saw him become England's joint-leading scorer, alongside Bobby Charlton on 49 — believes the extended break affected his performances and wants his fellow Three Lions stars to avoid a similar error ahead of next year's Euros in France.
